Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has a small airport with some of the lowest fares in the state. But, if you choose the road trip route, the town of Coward, South Carolina is a quirky pit stop between Charlotte and the Grand Strand. Coward's official website describes the town as a "quiet and peaceful place," and "a small town with a lot to offer." On the first Saturday in December, Santa and his elves make their annual appearance at Coward's Christmas in the Park, where families can enjoy free hot cocoa, coffee, music, and fireworks. If you love Christmas, Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most magical towns in America that go all out for Christmas, and it's only a two-hour drive from Coward.
